  • Not all states collect political affiliations, but in any case, you don't have to register a party. I have been an Unaffiliated Independent since I first registered to vote in 1977. I can't vote in primaries, but neither party can count on my vote, and they have to earn it every election.

  • Canada should announce that they've changed the names of all the Great Lakes to Canadian names, like Lake Toronto, and Lake Ottawa. Make sure there's a Lake Saskatchewan, because there is no way Trump can read or pronounce it, so that will really piss him off. Maybe he'll painfully stroke out and croak, and we can all read about it the Big Beautiful Obituary.

  • I do the same thing. I've been perfecting my chili recipe for decades. I've nailed the last few batches. Cumin is the magic herb for chili, otherwise it just tastes sort of generic. I also add cocoa powder, and red wine.

    I generally alternate between big batches of chili, and big batches of spaghetti sauce. Just brown a bunch of ground meat (I use beef/ pork, but you could use turkey or chicken, or nothing at all), and a bunch of sliced mushrooms, a whole bunch of Italian herbs and garlic, and add 2 cans of crushed tomatoes. A few ounces of red wine is nice. Then just let it simmer all day, and keep adding herbs throughout, balancing the flavors until it's perfect.

  • Roy Cohn, political mentor to both Trump and Roger Stone, who died of AIDS, always denied that he was gay, even though everyone knew it. Conservatives covered for him by saying that he wasn't really gay, he just liked to sexually dominate young blonde men. It was a power thing, not a sex thing. Obviously.

    BTW, it should be noted that both Trump and Stone were young blonde men.

  • Trump can’t appeal New York conviction in federal court, judge rules again

  • paying hush money to an adult film star or engaging in a cover-up of an embarrassment are not subsumed in presidential immunity,

    This is an ENORMOUSLY important ruling. When everybody was getting all excited about SCOTUS giving Trump full immunity, there were reasons to remain optimistic.

    There had never been guide rails on the presidency before, and for the first time, guide rails were installed, when SCOTUS said he had immunity for OFFICIAL acts. That's a really important qualifier, especially considering there were NO rules before.

    So what are "Official" acts? It seems obvious that the ONLY Official acts would be the presidential responsibilities as outlined in the Constitution. By using the qualifier "Official," they are drawing a clear line between official and unofficial duties. He has immunity for Official things, but not for anything outside of his "Official" duties. This judge has stated specifically that paying hush money, and engaging in a cover-up, are not "subsumed" (included/ covered) in Presidential Immunity. He is making a clear distinction between Official and Unofficial acts, with unofficial acts, such as crimes, not covered.

    This is the first time that a judge has said that the president doesn't have full immunity for EVERYTHING, especially criminal behavior. The importance of this cannot be overstated. This means he doesn't have immunity for ANY of his criminal activities.

    This corrupt, treasonous pedophile is criming all over the place thinking he is protected by immunity, and his lawyers are equally stupid, so he just keeps digging a deeper hole for himself, and that's where he will ultimately end up.

  • Gen Z regrets Trump support and is midterm motivated

  • 18 months ago, nobody knew what the Democratic Socialists were. Mamdani's election, and his subsequent success, has energized them. A month ago, 30% of Democrats aligned with the DSA. Two weeks ago, a new poll put the number above 50%.

    In the Midterms, we are going to see many DemSocs win, and Socialists will start taking over the Democratic Party, the way the Tea Party/ MAGA took over the Republicans.

    THIS is what revolution looks like in America. It occurs slowly, over the course of several election cycles, but it is inexorable, and it will happen. We just have to ignore those who want to see us destroy the nation they despise, for their own sick entertainment.

  • It is not. Conservatives have actively opposed the teaching of Critical Thinking Skills in the schools for decades.They think it leads to questioning authority, which it does. The problem is they think that's a bad thing, when we think it's a good thing.

  • Another foreigner from a country the size of a medium sized state, with absolutely no concept of the size of this country, thinks we can all go on a general strike one day, and overthrow the government. Or at least thinks it would be entertaining to watch us try, and fail.

    They won't be so entertained by the decades-long global Depression that would follow a collapse of the US economy, but they'll just blame that on us as well, even though we were just following their bad advice.

  • Gen Z (and everyone else) needs to learn that they are stronger as Unaffiliated Independents. No candidate wins based on their party base. The winner is ALWAYS the candidate who won the independent vote.

    Stay independent, and make them earn your vote every time.
